ALA is in everything. so you are already getting omega-3 fats. ALA is inferior to epa and dha but the less epa and dha you ingest the more efficient your body becomes at converting ALA to epa and dha.

fish oil is a good supplement to take, though.

You've gotta take like 6 at least to really notice benefits

That seems like a lot lol

Suggests take more, makes more money.

He's not wrong, why do you think there's triple strength fish oil out there? If you really want to reap the benefits, you need to take the strong shit. You pay for what you get.

"A: A fairly standard dose of fish oil in the studies is the equivalent of 6X1 gram capsules. The average capsule has 180 mg epa and 120 dha so 6 capsules will provide 1020 mg epa and 720mg dha for a total of 1.8 grams of total fish oil. I would consider this basically the minimum daily amount that would be beneficial on any level.
Some work has identified that the body will hit a limit (in terms of plasma saturation) on DHA at 1.2 grams per day which is the equivalent of 10X1 gram fish oil capsules. That would also provide 1.8 grams EPA for a total of 3 grams per day of fish oil. Under most conditions, I think this is more than enough."

It did seem like a lot to me as well, initially. It's easy to find it a lot it for very cheap, though.

Where do you find them? And btw, Lyle McDonald is not 10% bf, careful on trusting him, although in this case, he is right.

I got my current supply of 720x 1.2g fish oils from cvs, they had a bogo, so it cost me like 20$.

Cheapest place right now off the top of my head, I would probably go with myprotein.

Oh, ok. Was just curious, I make tons of money with my job in the financial sector so mundane deals and prices really don't bother me.

I prefer to keep my focus on my 10% bf

Lol... And I guess I Will starting taking a lil more
